Leapmotor relies on Aumovio solutions for most recent models

Aumovio, formerly Continental’s group sector Automotive, is supplying Chinese electric car manufacturer Leapmotor with safety technologies for its B and C platforms.

Several models of the B platform are equipped with Aumovio’s most recent long-range radar, electric parking brake and airbag control unit (ACU), while various C platform models feature the latest generation of MK C2 one box brake system, long-range radar and ACU.

The project’s development time was approximately shortened by one-third compared with traditional cycles.

Aumovio supplies various safety technologies for several of Leapmotor’s latest C platform high-volume SUV models, such as the C11, C16, and now on sale in Ireland, the C10. These technologies include the latest MK C2 one box brake system, which combines the master cylinder, electronic brake system and brake booster into a single compact, lightweight unit.

Designed primarily for performance and sports cars, nearly 5.5 million units have been produced since 2022. It produces the implemented brake systems in Shanghai, meeting its ‘local for local’ strategy. Aumovio also supplies the electric parking brake (EPB) for some of Leapmotor’s B platform models.

Another Aumovio technology in all three of the aforementioned SUV models, as well as in various additional models across Leapmotor’s B and C platforms, is the latest long-range radar. It represents a comprehensive upgrade over the previous generation in terms of performance, cost-efficiency, and compactness. With a detection range of up to 280 meters, the radar is roughly the size of two matchboxes. In 2025, Aumovio reached a major milestone by celebrating the production of its 200 millionth radar sensors.

This level of safety is complemented with Aumovio’s latest integrated airbag control unit (ACU) and crash satellite sensors, both produced in Changchun. Both technologies are also found in Leapmotor’s B10 model, which recently went on sale in Ireland, and its new B05 model.

Part of the Stellantis group, Leapmotor launched in Ireland last year through national importer, Gowan Auto.
